  2. Link-state routing protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-state_routing_protocol

    Link-state routing protocols are one of the two main classes of routing protocols used in packet switching networks for computer communications, the others being distance-vector routing protocols. [1] Examples of link-state routing protocols include Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS).

  3. Computer network diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network_diagram

    A sample network diagram Readily identifiable icons are used to depict common network appliances, e.g. routers, and the style of lines between them indicates the type of connection. Clouds are used to represent networks external to the one pictured for the purposes of depicting connections between internal and external devices, without ...

  4. Multiprotocol Label Switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Label_Switching

    Multiprotocol Label Switching. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that directs data from one node to the next based on labels rather than network addresses. [1] Whereas network addresses identify endpoints, the labels identify established paths between endpoints.

  5. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    In computer networking, a routing table, or routing information base (RIB), is a data table stored in a router or a network host that lists the routes to particular network destinations, and in some cases, metrics (distances) associated with those routes. The routing table contains information about the topology of the network immediately ...

  6. Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing

    Routing is the process of selecting a path for traffic in a network or between or across multiple networks. Broadly, routing is performed in many types of networks, including circuit-switched networks, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN), and computer networks, such as the Internet. In packet switching networks, routing is the ...

  7. Telecommunications network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_network

    v. t. e. A telecommunications network is a group of nodes interconnected by telecommunications links that are used to exchange messages between the nodes. The links may use a variety of technologies based on the methodologies of circuit switching, message switching, or packet switching, to pass messages and signals.

  8. Circuit switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_switching

    Circuit switching. Circuit switching is a method of implementing a telecommunications network in which two network nodes establish a dedicated communications channel (circuit) through the network before the nodes may communicate. The circuit guarantees the full bandwidth of the channel and remains connected for the duration of the communication ...

  9. Router on a stick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_on_a_stick

    Router R1 is a one-armed router carrying out inter-VLAN routing. A router on a stick, also known as a one-armed router, [1][2] is a router that has a single physical or logical connection to a network. It is a method of inter- VLAN routing where one router is connected to a switch via a single cable. The router has physical connections to the ...
